The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Hannu Lintu - Magnus Lindberg: Aura, Marea & Related Rocks (Live) (2021) CD-Rip

Composer Magnus Lindberg (b. 1958) is one of the leading names in todays contemporary music. This album by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra together with its chief conductor Hannu Lintu includes three works by the composer, including Aura, one of the most prominent monumental orchestral works of our era, together with two other works completed in the 1990s, including Marea and the first recording of Related Rocks. Aura in memoriam Witold Lutoslawski represents a grand synthesis of Magnus Lindbergs output in the 1990s. The work was written in 19931994 to a commission from Suntory Limited in Japan and was premiered by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra under Kazufumi Yamashita at Suntory Hall in Tokyo in June 1994. Clocking in at 40 minutes, Aura is Lindbergs most extensive orchestral work. Although not a symphony, this 4-movement work is closely linked to the symphonic concept represented by Lutoslawski. The composer heard of Lutoslawskis death while writing the work and decided to dedicate it to his memory.
